Catch up

Oh, my God. I honestly didn't realise how long it'd been since myself or Amy have blogged, I feel so bad for neglecting it! I think though, that we have both been wayyy too busy to blog, especially on a schedule. I know that I can barely keep on top of schoolwork let alone running a blog as well and that's really sad... Sigh. Anyway, I don't now about Amy but I just try and keep as regular as I can because I miss blogging! Moving on, I'm going to fill you in;

1: School

I feel like I'm actually doing okay in school at the moment? Which is something I never thought I'd be able to say... My grades are pretty decent; A in Maths, A* in English (Literature and Language), Bs in Science, A in Media and pretty much Bs in everything else... I'm pretty happy with that! My school just recently had a mock week and it was the first time I actually tried, in previous mock weeks I had obviously tried but this time I really revised and it paid off! (I managed to get an A in Biology!) Despite my grades at the moment, I'm dreading exams as I have a feeling panic will overwhelm me and affect my grades massively... I really hope that's not the case but if I try my best then I guess that's all I can do?

2: College/ Sixth Form

In three months I officially leave secondary school! I honestly cannot wait, I'm really looking forward to it, not because I don't enjoy school (well, I don't enjoy the amount of stress and pressure it brings a long with it), but because I can't wait to be studying subjects that I love in more depth and being able to focus on them. I'm not 100% on where I'm going on what I'm taking yet but I've applied to a lot of place to keep my options open, but I think I might stay onto to do sixth form at my school as I they have the courses I want, I like all the teachers, plus there's an underlying sense of security and comfort which is always a good thing. Wherever I go, I' going to be taking either 3 or 4 A-levels; if I were to stay at my school to do sixth form, if possible, I want to take English Literature, Media Studies, Maths and Creative Writing. However, if I go to a college then I think I will be taking English Literature, Media Studies and Photography! I love all of the subjects previously mentioned and I'm looking forward to furthering my love and knowledge for them!

3: Life

So much has happened in the past few months... I've come out of a very long relationship, Amy has begun a hopefully long-lasting one, Amy finalised her decision to move back with her Mum in Redditch, we've both argued more time than we care to remember, I've fallen out with numerous and let a few go for good... Not going to lie, I'm not a person who particularly likes change but that's something you just have to go with as there's nothing you can do to stop it; change is inevitable. I know for a fact that I in myself have changed massively, especially in the past year, I'm not going to specify how as that's not really important nor is it relevant. I can feel myself changing everyday and growing, hopefully into a better person, I'm becoming less jealous and envious of others and becoming more confident in myself, I'm nowhere near actually have a sustained confidence in myself but you've got to start somewhere. I haven't been very happy lately as I've really been let things get to me and that's really not anyway to go about life so I think I'm finally beginning to ignore people who are thoughtless and selfish and focus on the people who care and aren't afraid to express love or clarity - those people are the ones you should surround yourself with, not the people who hurt you purposely or try to make you feel stupid or bad or put you down or anything that has a negative affect on you. Those people are not worth your time. I always let others affect how I feel and that's really not necessary - YOU are the only person who can control your feelings and emotions, no one else has the ability to do so. So if anyone, even if it's your best friend, is being small-minded or arrogant or patronising or anything that's making you feel down, pick yourself back up and remember that you are the better one.

Okay, so I kind of went on a bit of a tangent there but I definitely feel better now!  Here's a quote that On that note, here's a quote I feel very apt;

"Why not just say goodbye to the bad things? Say goodbye to all the times you felt lost. To all the times it was a no, instead of a yes. To all the scales and bruises. To all the heartache. Say goodbye to everything you really want to do for the last time."

BLOGMAS DAY NINE: WISHLIST

Unfortunately there are many items that I am yet to own, over on my wishlist but here are a few of my favourite things;

Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Lipstick, Shade 30

This shade is so beautiful, I feel as though it's the perfect shade for Winter, it's a mixture of berry red and fuchsia, soo nice! Plus I adore the finish of these lipsticks.

Clear Acrylic Make- Up Organiser

This is what it says it is, you really can't go wrong with it! I just think that it's a really nice alternative way of storing your make-up and it goes with any colour scheme - bonus!

Pretty Honest: The Straight-Talking Beauty Companion (Hardback)

I've had my eye on this for a while and now I'm just anxious to get my hands on and read all about Sali Hughes' beauty secrets etc. This book would be perfect for any beauty/skincare lover.

Eye Starter Kit, Real Techniques

I am in dire need of some new eyeshadow brushes and since hearing so many great reviews about these particular ones, I though I'd give them a try! I've used quite a few of these brushes before and really like them.

Deep Red Faux Fur Throw

I'm re-decorating my room with a grey and dark red colour scheme and since I love faux fur, I saw this and fell in love! It's so beautiful and soft :( I wanttttt!

Kurt Geiger Star Boots

If you happen to know me well, (lucky you oo) then you will be familiar with my obsession with boots, specifically black ankle ones.. These one are just stunning, but unfortunately are a little out of my price range :( One day, eh?

What things are the top of your wislist right now?

BLOGMAS DAY EIGHT: LIST OF THINGS I WON'T EVER OWN ENTITLED 'WISHLIST'

Everyone has a few things they wish for over Christmas, don't they? What I have done is I made an online wishlist at Wishlistr, it is super easy and you can add links to everything you want! I have found that this way, I can give the link to my Mother as she was stuck for what to get me for Christmas! I also will find it satisfying to cross things off if they're received as gifts or if I buy them.

Samsung Galaxy S5 
I have had a Blackberry for two years now and it just doesn't do what I would like it to do! This phone is my dream phone as I just think it is stunning and does everything you could want and more! I know this is a rather expensive presents and I've never asked for something so expensive before which is why I do not expect I would get one. Though. if I open this present, I may cry...

A new coat
There are so many coats I want!! From Black to Camel to Grey... I want them all! I really like the 'Coocoon' style at the moment, along with the 'Boyfriend' and maybe throw in a biker jacket, eh? I am most likely not going to get any, so in the sales I'm going to have to pick up a couple aren't I?

Chunky Heeled Chelsea Boots 
Chelsea Boots go with almost everything and are a staple I do not currently own, as I love chunky heels, then it makes sense to mix the two together... These two make the perfect pair of boots and Newlook sell them for as little as £24.99!

Onesie
I have never owned a onesie and I feel deprived, there are so many I want but this one is just adorable! I always get Pyjamas in my stocking so maybe I'll get a onesie this year!

Real Techniques Brushes
I currently only own two, I want to build my collection up, I want the Powder Brush, Core Collection, Eye Starter Kit and the Lash-Brow Groomer. After that I can start to get more and more until I have them all, Wooo!

MUA LUXE
I have to say, their products aren't exactly renowned for their quality, but I have heard great things about the LUXEs. With high staying-power and pigmentation, leaving a matte finish they're everything I've been looking for in life. For £3, you can't go wrong, can you? I may buy myself the whole collection as there isn't a shade I don't like!

So they're just a few of the things, some on my Wishlistr, some not!

What are you hoping for this year?
